Good client mode card

Pros: Supports 64-bit operating systems Both regular and low profile brackets included Small
Cons: Included software to configure Software AP does NOT work in Windows 7. I don't know of any Linux drivers that support master mode with this card.
Overall Review: If you want Software AP, you must use Windows XP or Windows Vista. You should really just buy a nice wireless router instead. This card is based on the RT2860 chipset.
Bad design

Pros: Cheap
Cons: The included power supply just barely clears the CPU fan on a zotac gf6100 motherboard. Even so, the CPU fan and power supply fan blow air in opposing directions, causing heat issues and high noise levels. I had to make some hardcore case mods (involving moving the motherboard tray) in order to solve this problem.
Overall Review: Save yourself the hassle. It's not worth the few dollars you save.

Pros: Fits perfectly in a Foxconn RM233 case
Cons: The ATX 24-pin connector is not 20+4pin. The 4 pins do not break off.
I like it

Pros: Two 3.5" hard drive bays Decent airflow
Cons: A little clearance issue with the second (external) 3.5 inch hard drive bay, but I worked around it.
Overall Review: I put in a new 300W power supply. It fits standard TFX12V power supplies without any problems.
Reliable

Pros: Fast and reliable. Came with firmware revision 0006. Still works after going through airport security x-rays several times. Still works after being used for 10+ hours every day for a month in my business laptop (latitude e6510). Still just as fast as new.
Cons: Almost necessary to reduce page file size and disable hibernation in windows 7. However, with 8GB RAM and insanely fast boot times, these "features" of windows 7 become obsolete anyway. Also make sure to adjust power settings to never sleep and never spin down the hard disk.
Overall Review: Partitioned using MBR partition table, two partitions for dual-booting windows 7 (personal) and windows 7 (business). Bought it for $254.99 and totally worth it.
Runs cool

Pros: Fast! Easily runs several virtual machines at once. Runs cool Energy efficient
Cons: Expensive - again, for a good reason The included fan is slightly loud, but bearable.
Overall Review: Make sure you have plenty of RAM if you plan on running many virtual machines. It works without issues in a zotac gf6100 motherboard. Is the lower wattage worth the extra dollars?
